Hey, I just got this simple example put together using Away3D and the Flex framework. It shows a spinning cube. I also attached the .mxml source file for easier reading/copying/editing.

Thanks Boomer (U don’t happen to know the wrestling coach, Jared Frayer at OU?)..!

I guess the stars must be aligning cause I was literally cleaning up the code from the original example that I just got to work when you replied. The trouble I didn’t realize, after whenever I got it setup properly, was the SphereGeometry’s radius was set to 3000, and as kurono mentioned the camera must have been inside the geometry.  I guess?

Any ways, for anyone who wants to view the code it took for me to get the original example to work:

Thank you everyone, now it’s time to get Away3Ding

This is an old thread but for anyone stumbling for a solution to this the simplest way to go is, open the index.template.html in the html-template folder with the text editor.

After line 47 add the following:
params.wmode = “direct”;

This now runs correctly without the white screen problem.
